A dump truck and a compact car crashed head on killing at least one person south of Riverside, CHP officials said.
A witness who heard a loud crash reported the wreck at 4:53 a.m. Friday, March 13. She reported seeing smoke and fire in the distance, a CHP incident log said.
When officers arrived at the scene on El Sobrante and Mockingbird Canyon roads just south of the Woodcrest neighborhood south of Riverside, they found the dump truck engulfed in flames, and it was still burning an hour later, the log said.
The crash was reported as fatal, but further information was unavailable early Friday morning.
